Let's Get Smart About Safe Testing

Over the past decade, the medical device and biomaterials industries have experienced tremendous amount of growth and innovation combined with substantial increases in regulatory requirements, which has introduced a wide variety of new testing challenges. As a leading global manufacturer of materials testing solutions, Instron® has developed a number of new testing fixtures and accessories specifically designed for testing medical devices and biomaterials, enabling labs to meet a variety of industry standards.

Built from the ground-up for touch interaction, Bluehill Universal offers a new layout and enhanced features, giving users a simpler, cleaner interface for their testing system. The large touchpoints and intuitive touch gestures offer a renewed, yet familiar software environment for all Instron users. The new Operator Dashboard includes both the hardware and software necessary to get you on the path to simpler testing routines and refreshingly faster workflows.

Key Features

QuickTest

QuickTest, a new standard feature of Bluehill Universal, allows users to start tests quickly as it only takes a few seconds to enter your parameters. This is ideal for users looking to run very simple peak-force types of tests, or for users who need to run a quick test with a single ramp. It’s also particularly useful for those who are unfamiliar with Bluehill method building.

Export Tools

The only thing more important than the data created by the Instron system is what you do with it afterwards. Bluehill Universal offers many options for exporting test results and raw data. Upon completing a sample of tests, users can automatically export a professional report, or create a customized output file with custom-formatted tables of method parameters, test results, raw data, and graphs, ready to export into a wide variety of formats or import into a laboratory information management system (LIMS).

To accommodate a wider range of temperature testing applications, Instron has added more options to our line of environmental chambers, including:

3119-616, 3119-617, and 3119-618 | For use where multiple tension and compression load strings are required, without removing the primary load string. For example, composites and metals testing alignment requirements.
